    Great first post. Welcome to the board. And, for God’s sake, hurry up and get nine more posts so you can rid yourself forever of that nasty Purdue Jockstrap.

    He tried biting the head off of a camel once - just so he could finally say he got over the hump.

    Was it meant to deliberately piss off the fans? I don’t know - just as much as you can’t say it wasn’t pre-arranged. For all of Leal’s contributions - or lack thereof - this year, he is returning to the tune of $225k. Hell, I’d tell people to “chill” if I got to be a benchwarmer for that kind of jack.

    It is if they already knew that they were returning, which they obviously knew since they announced it. Remember also on the Friday before - two days prior to senior day - Woodson told the media he had no idea whether either of them was doing senior day. So we’re supposed to believe that in the span of 48 hours they not only decided they were going to stay, but decided to go through with being on senior day and in their speeches allude to the fact that we “needed to chill”? if you believe all of that, I’ve got a bridge in San Francisco I’d love to sell you . . .

    IUBB vs Penn St - Thursday, 03.14.24 @ 9PM on BTN

    Penn State was 5-5 in their last 10 games. They did have a win against Illinois in that span, but most of those wins were against the bottom feeders. Today’s gonna tell us whether we’ve really turned the corner or not. Nebraska is a pretty decent team and if we beat them then, yeah, you’ve showed me something.

    It's like he's trying to be snarly like Knight was, only he doesn't have the cred to back it up.

    We’re too good to look this bad

    Exactly. some people are ecstatic we won four straight but who the hell did we really beat teams that are playing poorly down the stretch. I want to see what we do against Purdue, Illinois and other really good teams then I’ll say we’ve turned the corner or not. my money is we get thumped like we have already this year.

    What have they done their last 10 games?

    What exactly is your affiliation to the university where you can give their perspective?

    I’m surprised no one in the media has asked that question during a news conference or post game press conference.

    One thing to note with the Carolina success: much like recruiting one and done five star freshmen, Carolina had some building blocks already in place with Armando Bacot, and RJ Davis - much like Kentucky had with Darius Miller when they win in 2012, or Duke with Quin Cook when they won in 2015. Whether you’re planning on building your roster with one and done’s or through the portal, you need established players already in place to make either process work to develop a championship level team.

    That’s fair. Hindsight is always 20/20. Had Woodson not had the surgery until May/June would have we been able to get Knecht here for a visit BEFORE he took his trip to Knoxville? Maybe, maybe not. What we DO know is once he got to Rocky Top, no one else got a chance. Knecht would have been an impact player for us. Critical miss.

    Agreed. Chris will readily admit that something he stated prior has been proven to have been false. Hell, nobody believed Woodward & Bernstein either until John Dean and Alexander Butterfield blew Watergate wide open.

    Deflect all you want. The KID HIMSELF said the visit was postponed because of Woodson’s surgery. You say “it wasn’t” - but provide nothing of context to support that statement. Hmmm . . . believe you, or believe a direct quote from the kid? Pretty easy choice.
  23. Tasmanian Devil

    Regarding the starter argument: read in the article where Knecht himself said he just wanted to compete for a starting spot. So isn’t it fair to assume that if he was willing to compete at Tennessee - where there was more of a log jam at his position - he would have been just as willing to compete at Indiana? Only makes sense to me.

    Media stories? Pat Forde - a much heralded, respected sports journalist - quoted the kid directly. So is Forde making the story up? Is the kid lying? I’m not “picking and choosing what to say”, I’m just showing what has actually been said by those involved.

    This right here is a perfect example of deductive reasoning. Same as Tom Allen wasn’t good as a Head Coach but has demonstrated his ability as a defensive coordinator, Payne might do well in a “GM” role for IU. FTR: I’m not a fan of using the portal as a primary source for roster construction. IF we do go that route, you need a competent guy in the “manager” role. Based on his past success at UK, it’s not out of the question Payne could be that guy.
